"I still have some unfinished business."
Turning Ren Ruyi's hand over, Jingting produced a silver needle from nowhere and pierced Ren Ruyi's palm.
"Huh." Ren Ruyi was shocked. "As expected of a holy hand, I feel much better."
"The girl needs to rest now. Xiaodao doesn't know how urgent the girl's matter is, but if she doesn't stop and continues like this, it won't be possible for the gods to save her within five days." Jingting looked a little serious.
"I can't stop here."
"We'll leave later. I'll go back and get some medicine. You can take it with you." As she said that, Jingting pressed her fingers slightly.
Ren Ruyi felt a warmth spread throughout his body.
"Okay, you..."
"Xiaodao has practiced Taoist internal strength since he was a child, and his inner breath is righteous and peaceful. This internal strength can protect your damaged muscles and veins, and it is also good for your internal injuries. If there is an emergency on the road... it can also protect the girl, just Think of it as repayment for the girl’s incense money.”
"Thank you, actually I..."
Ren Ruyi wanted to say something, but was suddenly stopped by Jingting's outstretched palm.
"Someone is coming here, an outsider, with a weapon."
"Zhu Yiwei! They are here to catch me." Pulling out the silver needle in his palm, Ren Ruyi stood up abruptly and looked at Jingting with a fierce look in his eyes: "How do they know I'm here!?"
"Except for the victims of the disaster, no outsiders will come to this village for a long time, and the girl is as beautiful as a fairy."
"I have to get out of here!" Ren Ruyi's voice was urgent.
"late."
Boom!
Click!
As soon as Jingting finished speaking, the poor door of Shopkeeper Wang's house cracked in two.
Several people dressed in black rushed into the room with sharp weapons in hand.
Without a word of nonsense, with just one glance, they all recognized Ren Ruyi's identity.
Ren Ruyi subconsciously took a step forward, and then a huge force came. Jingting protected her behind her back, pressing her tightly against her back.
boom!
A muffled sound!
The man in black was the first to pounce, flying back with blood gushing from his mouth.
Ren Ruyi's pupils shrank sharply. She had very good eyesight and could see clearly. When Jingting's palm fell on Zhu Yiwei's chest, the killer's chest visibly sunk. The seemingly frail little Taoist priest in front of her , with one palm, it has the power to open monuments and crack rocks.
The Zhu Yiwei who fell down had already taken in too much air and had little out.
This time, all the killers stopped.
"Go back. This is a border, but it's also Wu Country. We don't want to kill people on the trail. Just come and go as you please." Jingting was the first to speak.
"This matter has nothing to do with you." A hoarse voice came from the crowd, a female voice.
"She was a good person, a good, kind person."
"Little Taoist priest, you don't know how many people she has killed! If you protect her now, she will stab you in the back the next second! She is a! Traitor! What she is best at is betrayal!"
"She didn't...originally come to the Taoist temple. She doesn't believe in religion, and she doesn't care at all whether Tianzun will protect her. She could have gone directly through Tianmen Village and entered Tianmen Pass, but along the way she discovered that Anguo had already Too many people have been harmed, too many refugees have poured into Tianmen Pass, and yet another Taoist temple is giving out relief.”
The Taoist priest spoke slowly.
"So she gave Guanli a large sum of money in the name of incense money. She was on the run and she probably didn't have much silver with her. Thanks to her, the flood victims who came in would not starve within a few days. Death, so she may have killed countless people, but in Xiaodao’s eyes, she is considered a good person.”
"Everyone, please go back. As long as I'm here, you can't kill her."
The woman stopped talking.
The Zhu Yiwei under his command dispersed into a semicircle, faintly covering the Jingting Pavilion.
"Be careful, it's poisonous." Ren Ruyi's subtle voice reached Jingting's ears from behind.
"good."
The moment the Taoist priest was distracted, all the assassins pounced on him almost at the same time.
boom!
boom!
Jingting didn't move a step.
His arms turned into several afterimages, blocking all attacks and counterattacking them one by one.
boom!
The battle lasted very short, and in a moment, twelve corpses fell in the inn at the border.
"Are you OK?"
Jingting turned her head.
puff!
Perhaps it was the sudden relief caused by the death of all the killers, or perhaps it was the recurrence of old injuries. Looking at the young man's face, the woman's throat felt sweet and she fell down.
——————
"Empress! Empress!"
"Go away! Go away! Leave me alone!"
The flames and cries stimulated the nerves. Ren Ruyi opened his eyes suddenly, fine beads of sweat flowed down his face, and everything fell silent.
Some dilapidated roofs came into view, and the strong smell of medicine spread into the nasal cavity. When he moved, the numbness of the wound and a sense of being restrained spread throughout his body.
"You woke up earlier than I expected."
Ren Ruyi looked for the sound and turned around. Jingting was sitting next to the charcoal basin not far away. There was a medicine pot hanging on the basin. The crackling of the flame brought some warmth to the room.
Ren Ruyi struggled to sit up, but Jingting helped her lean back and covered her with the quilt.
"It's a bit cold today. The room is still a bit cold. The girl has more hidden injuries than I thought. It's better to lie down."
"I remember your kindness."
"There's no need for this. Xiaodao didn't save you just so you could repay your kindness. Well, the fire is almost done. Drink it while it's hot." Taking off the medicine pot on the charcoal basin, Jingting brought the medicine bowl to Ren Ruyi.
"It will be a little bitter..."
Before Jingting finished speaking, Ren Ruyi picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Girl, rest, Xiaodao first..."
"Is this your first time to kill someone?" Ren Ruyi stretched out his fingers from the quilt and gently hooked Jingting, who felt numb in his heart and was pinned to the bedside.
"Well, this is Xiaodao's first time fighting with others? Before, my senior brother and master trained with me."
"how do you feel?"
"It's easy, just...a little gross."
"Your martial arts skills are very high."
"To be honest, I don't know for sure. I can't beat my master, my brother, and my sister. When I grow up and my brothers and sisters have gone down the mountain, I still can't beat my master. My brother used to say that I am a martial arts wizard. , the master said, I am a martial arts idiot, at most I am a little clever."
"Your master must be a hidden master."
"Hiding from the world? It's okay. Tianqing Temple is not hard to find, expert? It should be considered. When I was young, my senior brother secretly went down the mountain after learning martial arts. The master always said that there are mountains beyond the mountains and there is a sky beyond the sky, and then he beat the senior brother severely."
"my clothes……"
"Your clothes were changed with the help of the shopkeeper's wife. As for the treatment... the girl vomited blood and fell into a coma. It's urgent to follow the authority. It's a matter of the girl's reputation. Xiaodao will never go out and talk nonsense."
Lifting up his clothes, the little Taoist priest's face turned red.
"Do you have a name? A lay name."
"No, I've been in Guanli for as long as I can remember."
"How about our child be called Ren Xiaolou from now on?"
"Child...child!!!"
"Although I don't care about your choice, your participation is needed after all. In terms of names, you can make some suggestions."
The woman's fingers gently hooked the boy's palm, and the boy jumped up like an electric shock, muttering to himself.
"Master is right, the woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger, you must avoid it."
